Yea just an FYI. I recently completely took apart my Mac Pro. It was much more difficult to work on than any PC I've ever built, and there is quite a few little "gotchas" you need to look out for. Just make sure that, when buying parts that they are definitely for the correct model you are trying to build. Most of the parts look the same from gen to gen, but they could be different and incompatible.
